jpadie Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hello all I'm looking for replacements for the threaded rod + nut combos (they are one piece). Can't think what they're called to search for them. They're in brass and used for connecting through bulkheads in this case. hopefully the hive mind will come up with something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 what is the device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 They look bespoke/homemade. I reckon closest readily available would be a gate eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 All I can think of is that is some kind of home made wet battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpadie Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 The device is an electrode for a salt water chlorine generator for a pool. It's home made by me. I can't remember where I got the original nut/bolt combo nor what it is called though. I keep thinking of a barrel nut but that is something a little different.

Alan Ambrose Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Ah the old 'I made this but can't remember how I did it, where I sourced the parts from etc'. At least you remember what it's for . Been there, done that. If it's this bit (below): Some kind of 'rod end', 'threaded rod end', 'eye rod end' etc? e.g. https://midwestcontrol.com/shop/CRXL-12-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpadie Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 It does look a bit like a tie rod type thing yes! I wonder whether I could get one of those eye rods that you linked to and put a thread on the inside. I'd have to find a brass or titanium version to prevent corrosion. At least I've something to search on now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ambrose Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Or stainless, lots of yacht parts made like that in stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think stainless steel likes chlorine gas too much. Brass suffers less and titanium is ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
